The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 41: Golden Canyon (Part 1)
"Enemy Attack!"
The distant sound seemed to be coming from the bottom of the water. Jonah spent half a minute controlling his hands and feet and awkwardly lifted the thin blanket. In the night, the members of room a51 could vaguely see the defensive formation around him. Elliott sat on the back of the unicorn and nodded to him: "Put on the coat, sir, the night is still growing."
Jonah stood up with a staff in his hand and looked around. No trace of the enemy could be seen on the black miracle grassland. The moon has sunk into the sky, and the only light that illuminates the grassland is the white shimmer that naturally radiates from the unicorn of the rose knight riding the beast. "Where is the enemy?" Jonah squeezed his staff tightly and asked in a low voice.
"Keep your eyes open, brother, there, there, there, everywhere." Sibi spread his hands beside him.
"Where's your bow?" Jonah looked around and asked.
"Here." Sibi chuckled, showing off her slender wrist to the astrologer apprentice braggingly, with a snake-shaped bracelet on her wrist, silver snakes intersecting end to end, and a mouth full of fangs. Biting deeply on Sibi’s wrist, like a living creature. "A gift from Sister Long Ji from the East." She stroked the bracelet like a child who couldn't play enough. The snake bracelet suddenly twisted, and the stern light flashed, and a five-foot-high, silver-shrouded large bow appeared abruptly. In Sibi's hands, the bow arm is like a snake body covered with smooth scales, the bowstring is almost invisible, and it faintly reflects a faint light.
Jona opened his mouth wide. "This is... a kind of summoning technique?"
"I don't know either." Sibi shook his head, "It's easy to say anyway."
"Hush." Long Ji motioned for the two to silence.
"We are performing the official mission of Cherry Crossing. I hope everyone will not disturb, otherwise I will fight. I am afraid that you are also afraid. I beg the knights, mages, and noble masters over there not to take action. Everyone has a good night’s sleep. Feel, let’s go on our own way tomorrow, okay? Come on!" The head of the room roared in a strong and weak tone. Elliott stroked his forehead helplessly.
His eyes gradually adjust to the darkness, and Jona vaguely sees the light reflected by the sword. The hidden enemy did not answer or move, and the two sides confronted each other silently. Ye Diabolo poked there like a bamboo pole, his face expressionless, and the Buddha's teeth trembled and creaked slightly in the scabbard with a little irritability.
"How long is it until dawn?" Long Ji asked.
"About four hours." Elliott replied.
"Fart! Standing like this for four hours, the calf will become thicker." Xibi complained boredly playing with the longbow.
"Aristocratic master! We are just crossing the road and don’t mean to fight with others! There are women (referring to Longji) and children (referring to Xibi) and the wounded (referring to Jonah) and the unsound poor man (referring to Yekong)! Let's do it!" Toba roared in a weaker and weaker voice. Sibi jumped up and slapped the back of the muscular head of a farmer in Bazelal: "You are the kid!"
"Let me just say,'Kid' may be a description of your young age, Miss Sibi." The Rose Knight interrupted.
"Yes, I am a child." Sibi, who is extremely sensitive to age, nodded immediately.
The other party is still silent.
"Light it up." Long Ji suddenly said.
"Huh?" Jona was taken aback for a moment.
"Light up the entire prairie, I think you can do it." Long Ji looked at him with dark eyes, Jona was in a trance, hurriedly tossed his hair, and paused the staff: "I You can try." Long Ji looked at Elliott inquiringly, and the Rose Knight nodded. "Come up." He reached out and pulled Yonah onto the unicorn's back to help him stand on the saddle.
"My lord, be defensive and stop shouting." Elliott said to Toba, who was screaming vigorously. The peasant Bazelal took off his small round hat and was a little shy: "Okay, I The negotiation is always unsuccessful."
"Everything in the world is the projection of the stars on the ecliptic. We live, possess, communicate, inherit, create, manage, share, change, transcend, realize, communicate and introspect, all of which are overlooked by the stars. We are in awe. , Always look up. Please lend me strength from the stars."
Jonah silently recites the centuries-old motto of astrologers, and the voice of Teacher Koshava comes to mind. Where is the mentor now, is he sleeping soundly in a distant country, or is watching himself in the sky of stars?
The energy stripped from the interstellar line is captured by the rapidly rotating star array, and Jonah has never felt like he is in control of the unspeakable abundant energy like tonight. The crystal on the top of the staff shined quickly, and the light changed from warm red and hot yellow to dazzling white. Jonah held the staff high, and the light drove away the darkness like the tide. In an instant, the miracle grassland ushered in another day. Jonah seemed to see the flowers in the grass slowly spinning in his direction, capturing the vibrant light.
The enemy appeared, and the number was astonishing. Nearly a hundred ambushers armed with weapons moved slightly in panic in the light and gathered at the entrance of the canyon in the direction of Cherry Crossing.
"Jeff Tower!" Sibi exclaimed, pointing to a familiar face in the crowd.
"Jeff Tower?" Jonah looked down at her.
"The fallen magician of the'Sick Dogs' team, the holder of the Moon Halo Mandala." Elliott explained, "It is very dangerous. If there is a war, Sibi, shoot him first."
"I'm not sure that he is usually protected by a heavy shield warrior." Sibi hesitated.
Toba moved, and his body as thick as a wall lay in front of everyone, blocking everyone's sight and isolating possible danger. "Mr. Dan!" he shouted to the other side with a little surprise, waving his little round hat enthusiastically. An uneasy commotion arose from the enemy team, and then broke through the crowd. A middle-aged, silver-haired man in a white robe, slightly fattened, walked out with his hands and said: "It turns out to be friends with pitchforks."
"Mr. Dan!" Sibi also waved and called.
"Little grasshopper!" Mr. Dan gestured with a smile at her.
"Who?" Jonah asked bewildered.
"Mr. Dan, the V-rated tenant of Cherry Crossing, one of the people at the top, we have a very good relationship, and a large part of his personal tasks are done by us." Rose Knight explained.
"By the way, you guys a few days ago..."
"We crushed the backbone of the poor man named Harold in the'Sick Dogs' team. That's right, Mr. Dan's mission." Long Ji said.
"But isn't that Jeff Tower also a member of the Sick Dog Team?" Jonah wondered.
"The'sick dog' was hired by Mr. Dan today. There is no hatred between them. The world of Cherry Crossing is like this. All relationships are made up of interests." Elliott said.
"Don't worry, if one day you are pinched to death, I promise to be sad for you for a week." Xibi made a pinch, thought about it, and corrected: "Sad for three days, a week too It's long."
"Mr. Dan! Where are you going?" Toba exclaimed happily when he saw that there was no need to fight.
"Go to the King City of Bazelal." Mr. Dan replied.
"I heard that the Zavi Empire has already been captured there!" Toba exclaimed.
"Yes, but I have to see it with my own eyes." Mr. Dan sighed and waved his hand. His team took off guard, put away their swords, and lined up in a wedge-shaped array, bypassing the camp of the a51 tenants and heading towards Sucasa Canyon. .
"Mr. Zhongdan is rumored to be a member of the Sutherland family and the crown prince of Bazelal. When the war began, he escaped to take shelter under his father's prestige. Unexpectedly, he would have the courage to go back and have a look at this time." Otter said.
"Is he a Sutherland?" Toba suddenly lowered his face, and the silly smile at the corners of his mouth melted like ice and snow.
"No, no, he is an insignificant little character. We dare to say that he doesn't even know Princess Abidele." The Rose Knight changed his words quickly.
The head of the room frowned, the muscles on his shoulders were slightly gravel, and his fingers were varicose.
"Blow the lamp!" Long Ji shouted suddenly.
"Blow the lamp?" Sibi puzzled.
"Tell you to stop lighting!" Long Ji flashed and appeared behind Jona, swinging her long legs, gently kicking the apprentice astrologer's staff into the air. The star array out of control flickered like a candle in the wind and went out. The eyes that had just been accustomed to the light suddenly plunged into darkness. Except for the footsteps of Mr. Dan's team walking into the other side of the canyon, the members of the pitchfork team No one can see anyone or hear any sound.
"...What are you doing? My fingers are swollen." Jonah said aggrievedly.
"Sorry." Long Ji's voice came.
For a long time, I heard Toba say: "It's almost dawn, I said, hurry up and go to bed." With a thump, the wall fell, and it shook the ground gently.
"Everyone has a sad thing." The unicorn stepped a few steps to find a comfortable position, buried his head under his front legs, and the rose knight sighed on the back of the beast.
"I think everyone is insane, huh, except me." Sibi waved his hand, and the silver bow disappeared like magic, turning into a silver bracelet on his wrist.
Jonah rubbed his swollen middle finger, and couldn’t help thinking: the mysterious Eastern woman trapped in love, the boring knight of the Trinity, the peasant Bazelal who seems to be honest with a deep hatred, the silly Southern murderer, who doesn’t know his age. The prettier archer, in this strange team, I'm still the most normal one. ——Of course he didn't expect that someone who occasionally possesses a devil and carries a prophecy of the end times is the strangest one.
It is the hardest thing to fall asleep after being awakened in a dream. Jonah and clothes are lying on a thin blanket, tossing about and unable to fall asleep. "Elie? Ellie?" He whispered the name of the rose knight. "What's the matter?" Elliott answered immediately, never disappointing.
"There is one thing I haven't figured out. If the tenant goes out of the scope of the cherry crossing, will they not be protected by the old man?"
"Of course. Daddy's arms are not that long."
"Why does Mr. Dan dare to act with the mercenaries? Are you afraid that those people will kill him?"
"He is different from those V-class tenants who came from wealthy merchants. As the great noble of Bazelal, his personal servant knights occupied six a-class guest rooms."
"Oh. Are you tired after sitting all day?"
"We are one, of course we are not tired. Are you tired from walking on your legs all day?"
"Oh, too."
Jonah and Elliott went to bed and talked about each other, not knowing when, and fell asleep. Open your eyes again, the sky is already plentiful, and the team is ready to set off.
